This is the final call for papers (due to a tight schedule there will be
NO EXTENSION) for a workshop on

KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION FOR AGENTS AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS (KRAMAS 2008)

http://www.cs.uu.nl/events/kramas2008/kramas.html

To enhance cross-fertilization between the KR (Knowledge Representation
and Reasoning) and agent communities, this year's edition of KR features
a one-day workshop on knowledge representation theories and techniques
for agent-based systems. Papers are welcomed on KR-related work as
applied to either single agent or multi-agent systems.

POSSIBLE TOPICS (non-exhaustive list)

- Knowledge Representation & Reasoning aspects of agent systems
(languages, ontologies, techniques)
- Reasoning about (actions of) agents
- Reasoning methods (such as non-monotonic reasoning, abduction,
argumentation, diagnosis, planning, decision-making under uncertainty,
reasoning about preference, ...) applied to agents and multi-agent
systems (MAS)
- Theory of negotiation, communication, cooperation, group
decision-making, game theory for MAS
- Cognitive robotics
- Representations of other agents / opponent models
- Logics for intelligent agents and MAS
- Specification and verification techniques for agents
- Automated reasoning techniques for agent-based systems
- Logical foundations of agent-based systems, normative MAS and
e-institutions
- Formal semantics of agent programming languages
- Formal techniques for agent-oriented programming and agent-oriented
software engineering

PROCEEDINGS

Informal pre-proceedings will be distributed at the workshop. All good
quality papers will be included in the post-proceedings to be published
in the Springer Lecture Notes series.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
